MATLAB: Polynomial arrays intersection and area within intersection

homeworkpolynomial

Hello,
I don't understand what is meant by polynomial array. I am wondering if it is as simple as what I wrote.
For part 2, I know I need to do some sort of fzero, but I'm not really sure. like fzero(f1,f2) or something along those lines.

@Rick. What Ahmet has given you does in fact help. Your mistake lies in assuming powers for matlab's 'intersect' function that it doesn't have. If you read its documentation you will see what I mean. What you need at this point is 'roots', not 'intersect'. Does that get you going again?
